It's time! This weekend brings forth the season of Extra Life! We're kicking it off with our third annual RT Community Stream! We're going to be broadcasting 25 hours of Extra Life from all over the planet, featuring different RT Community Groups and their efforts to support their local Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.

Along with the community stream, we're going to have some merchandise up in the store as well that will contribute to Rooster Teeth's Extra Life donation. Last year's Pokemon-themed pin set will return to the Store for the RT Community Stream in preparation for a brand new set the following weekend! If you didn't get last years, this is your chance! On top of that, the #forthekids pin will return to the store, and live there forever! Proceeds from all of these pieces will go towards Rooster Teeth's donation to Extra Life! We do not profit from any Extra Life merchandise.

So, don't forget, starting tomorrow (November 3rd) morning at 8am CDT, check out the RT Community Stream, grab your new and old pins, and support your fellow RT Community!

AND THEN!

On November 10th, at 8am CST, it all kicks off. We'll be streaming 24 hours of the best #rtextralife shenanigans ever. Join your favorites from all of the Rooster Teeth family as we do our damndest to raise $1.25 million dollars for the kids!

This year we're ramping everything up. We've got a dunk tank, we've got Moonballs, we've got a FREAKING STEAMROLLER. It's going to be bonkers, and we want you there for it!

Also, as in years past, we'll have some incredible exclusive Extra Life merchandise available for you to grab! Of course, we'll have an incredible poster available for you. This year's theme is the Crowned Rooster Hotel, and it looks amazing. It's jam packed full of Easter eggs and I can't wait for you to get your hands on it.

Along with the poster, you can grab a Crowned Rooster shirt to show off your love of your favorite fake hotel ever. The shirt will come in a unisex cut, or a female cut. Your choice! We'll also have a very very limited number of Crowned Rooster robes! Look posh! As I mentioned before, we've got a brand new set of Pokemon themed badges as well! Make sure to complete your set! ON TOP OF THAT COOLNESS - the brand new WHEEL OF VENGEANCE pin hits the Store! It's our first ever moving pin! Hooray!

So, TL;DR

2017 Pokemon-Themed Badge Pin Set Available Nov 3 - 4 during the RT Community Stream

2018 Pokemon-Themed Badge Pin Set Available Nov 10-11 during the Extra Life Stream

Wheel of Vengeance Pin Available Nov 10-11 during the Extra Life Stream

Crowned Rooster Shirt Female and Unisex Cuts Available Nov 10-11 during the Extra Life Stream

Limited Crowned Rooster Robes Available Nov 10-11 during the Extra Life Stream

We'll also have raffle prizes up for grabs as well as we have had in years past. We're still lining up all of them, but we've got a few doozys in there... (including one incredible opportunity with Achievement Haunter!)

Again, this is all for the kids. This is my favorite thing I get to do, and I hope you tune in. If you can support our stream via donation, or purchasing some exclusive merchandise, that would be amazing. If you can't support it financially, just spreading the word is the best thing on the planet.

We love you, and you guys are the best community on the planet!

Edit: The Wheel of Vengeance Pin is only available November 10 - 11 during the Extra Life Stream.

This weekend we'll be kicking off Extra Life 2018 with our 25-hour RT Community stream! It'll be running from November 3, 8:00 a.m. CDT to November 4, 8:00 a.m. CST here on Rooster Teeth, YouTube, and Twitch!

Along with the stream, we will be promoting two very special items. The #ForTheKids pin is coming back as an evergreen item - we'll be able to donate to Extra Life throughout the entire year.

And we're also bringing back a very special Pin Set that premiered last year. For one day only, we will be selling the 2017 Extra Life Pin set in anticipation for the new set to be released on November 10.

What is the Community Stream? Every hour we will be patching in a different group from around the world in the middle of their own Extra Life stream for us to host and give them a hearty boost. Many of the below groups are local community groups that are always looking for new members like you. See below for the schedule and click a link or two if you want to join up with them. ;D

I know this update is a long time coming that many of you have been waiting for, myself included.

We are NOW, OFFICIALLY in an internal beta for the new community site! This is a HUGE milestone for us, and all of us are excited for this achievement. Right now, we are going through the new platform with the goal to work with our amazing Engineering team, to figure out what works well (or...not so well), improve all sorts of aspects, and ultimately create a fantastic experience for you when the community site is able to go public.

We know you have been waiting for updates on the new site (some of you curious if it was even on our radar) and we want you to know that it has been, it is, and it will be because this is a huge priority for us.

For future updates and other news, myself, Chelsea, or Barbara will be making those announcements when we can.

That said, below is a sneak peek of the internal beta. Can't wait to show you more!

*SPECIAL NOTE* Please keep in mind that this is not a finalized version of the community site.

I wanted to introduce myself and share some news. I joined the Programming team a few months ago as the Scheduling Manager. Since then, I have been helping to figure out the best times and dates to launch new episodes. I will also be scheduling the 24/7 channels that you see on our site and app.

This week, we switched over the streaming players on these feeds (Rooster TV Beta, AHTV Beta, and Funhaus TV Beta). Since the launch of the channels, we have been using YouTube’s player to air episodes of our content on a 24-hour basis for the whole community to enjoy.

Because of this player, we were only able to create random playlists and could not program a schedule. On Wednesday, we began using a new player to stream these feeds. This change means that there will no longer be the ability to click-through to the playlist on YouTube from our site, but it DOES mean we will have a lot of new possibilities for scheduling the feeds. (YAY!)

Not only will this switch give us the opportunity to eventually incorporate all live broadcasts and livestreams into the channels, but we will also be able to better curate and specifically schedule the content airing on them. Be on the lookout for marathons, theme days, and holiday content as we start to get more involved in scheduling each channel. And if there’s anything you want to see, let us know! We want to include videos and content that you want to see.

Rooster TV, AHTV, and Funhaus TV can be found by going to the Live tab on the Rooster Teeth site and mobile app. Please take a look and leave any feedback or questions in the comments.

Aloha folks! It's my favorite time of year, Extra Life Season! We've got a ton of Extra Life stuff coming up, starting on October 4th! That's right, this year's recruitment stream begins at 6pm CST on Thursday, October 4th. We're looking to build up Team Rooster Teeth for Extra Life and we're looking for amazing folks such as yourself to join.

Oh hey, did you know, this year is Extra Life's 10th anniversary? It's incredible to think that our first stream was just Geoff and I back in 2010, hanging out in the AH office, and even then, that was two years into the life of Extra Life! This year will mark our 6th "big" stream for Extra Life, and we can't be more excited.

Extra Life's official Game Day is November 3rd, but if you are playing along, you aren't beholden to that specific day. On November 3rd, Rooster Teeth will host our third Community Stream where we point our stream at different Rooster Teeth Community teams across the planet, all raising money for Extra Life! You can sign up for Extra Life (and join the Rooster Teeth Super Team) by going HERE. Don't forget, the way Extra Life works is that all donations that go to you will actually direct towards a local Children's Miracle Network of your choosing!

Since 2008, the Extra Life community has raised over $40 MILLION dollars in funds directly helping kids in Children's Miracle Network hospitals all over the United States and Canada. So much of that is from you, our amazing community.

So, the long and short of it:

Our Extra Life Rooster Teeth Recruitment Stream is October 4th at 6pm CST until 10pm CST!

The Rooster Teeth Community Extra Life Stream is November 3rd from 8am until November 4th at 8am.

The Rooster Teeth Extra Life Stream will be November 10th from 8am until November 11th at 8am.

We will be showing off some badass stuff we have planned (including exclusive items) during our recruitment stream, so please, join us! We love you guys!

We’re back! For a third year in a row, Rooster Teeth will be hosting the RT Community Stream. We’re already gearing up with plans and shenanigans and ways that we can do mental (and some physical) harm to our co-workers in the name of, "For the Kids."

The RT Community Stream will be happening on November 3 to November 4, 8 a.m. to 8 a.m. CST - a full 25 hours of bouncing around every hour to community groups all over the world. And yes, that's 25 hours, so 25 groups because Daylight Savings Time is happening again.

We’ve done this the last two years, but some of you may be asking, WHAT IS THE EXTRA LIFE RT COMMUNITY STREAM? Let me tell you.

The RT Community Stream is a 25-hour livestream where we, Rooster Teeth, will host a specific Community Group or Individual in hour long blocks. Jack, Caiti, myself and maybe some other randos will be hosting the stream at the top of every hour; covering Extra Life details, showing off the exclusive merchandise, and telling you about the new group we’re about to throw it to. The RT Community Stream is schedule on the same day as Extra Life’s massive GAME DAY. Where Extra Life unites thousands of gamers around the world to play games in support of their local Children's Miracle Network Hospital. Game Day is the day of play (the whole 25 hours of it) where gamers around the world marathon their favorite table top, PC and consoles games to raise money for sick and injured kids. It’s just like a walk-a-thon, only you’re participating alongside gamers who, just like you, are playing or streaming #forthekids!

In the past we’ve been able to pull in groups located all over the US, Canada, the United Kingdom and more. There have been skits, gameplay, truly horrific stretch goals, and artistic streams - anything is game when it comes to raising money For the Kids.

So, here’s the deal: we're looking for some amazing RT Community Extra Life teams that are looking to participate in our official RT Community Stream.

If you're interested, please fill out the following form! Make sure to get with your fellow group members so there's no duplicates between y'all.

For those of you who participated last year, you'll have to fill out the form again. You have until September 28, 2018 to submit.

Now here's the cool part. By joining our Rooster Teeth Super Team on Extra Life, every dollar that you, or people in your sub team donate goes towards the total that Rooster Teeth is attempting to raise. Here is our team!

If you have issues with the Rooster Teeth Super Team, or you want to create a sub-team to include in the Rooster Teeth Super Team, drop the support guys at Extra Life an email at support@extra-life.org and they'll hook you up.

So, to sum up Extra Life and the streams...

November 3 is the 25-hour RT Community Stream

November 10 is the INSANE 24-hour Rooster Teeth Extra Life Stream.

If y'all have questions, drop 'em below. @jack and I will do our best to answer!

This week on Club Club we're watching Stardust! It's a 2007 movie based on the book by Neil Gaiman and we can't wait to talk about it. If you want to watch before this weekend, it's currently streaming on Netflix (in the US, at least... not sure about other regions. Sorry!), but it's also available to rent on YouTube/Google Play, Amazon, and iTunes.

We want to include your thoughts in the show!

You can suggest a "Movie Club" style question about the themes of the movie we should discuss.

You can also leave us a comment about something in the movie that surprised you, a moment you particularly enjoyed, etc. and we'll shout out some of your thoughts in the episode. OR you can tweet us your thoughts using the hashtag #ClubClub.

Stephen is a freelancing 3D artist based out of Conroe, TX. Inspired by Monty Oum’s work with RWBY, Dead Fantasy, Red vs. Blue, and Haloid, Stephen worked on this passion project with other collaborators using a variety of tools such as Maya, Photoshop, After Effects, Premiere Pro, a little bit of blood, sweat and tears topped off with the biggest necessity ever - teamwork.

I'm getting so many messages from you saying that your parents and friends are watching Murder Room, which is awesome and disturbing . I'm so happy you guys are having fun with this show! New episodes will now be available to everyone on the site a week after their release to FIRST members. So tell even more of your friends and family to watch!

I've also been following the feedback. Thanks for all the great comments and suggestions. I know more time is something you really want from Murder Room. While episodes two through four keep the current time rules of the original pilot, I am changing things up a bit in the last episode of this run. I'm giving the council a little more breathing room while hopefully not changing the overall pace of the show, especially the ending.

Some of you are wondering if the mysteries will always be heavy. Nope. We are playing a game of murder so some stories will obviously be serious, but we are having some fun with this too.

Thanks for watching! We want to keep you guessing and making more episodes!

Life used to suck. It’s harsh, but true. The world was so boring, that as recently as 80 years ago, people had to pretend to be a thimble or a fucking wheelbarrow just to pass the time. Thankfully technology came along and made the world actually fun. For instance, now we get to pretend to be much cooler shit, like giant noses and moustaches.

I’m speaking of course, of Hardcore Tabletop. If you haven’t heard of it yet, we basically take boring old “who even cares who wins?” Monopoly, and dramatically ratchet up the fun and stakes. How, you say? How is it possible to take that game and make it fun in 2018? It’s quite simple.

Real Money

Real Jail Time (sort of)

Obviously, I’ll be the banker. Jack is going to wear a big hat. And it’s going to be a lot of fun. There are eight episodes that’ll go up weekly on Tuesdays. FIRST members can check out the first two episodes today. If you’re not a FIRST member, then you can’t pass go, and you definitely can’t collect $200. You can watch the first episode for free, though (but only the first one).

We are excited to be over in London in just 25 days and see all of your smiling faces! We can’t wait for year two in London to begin.

We wanted to update everyone on Autograph Codes to explain how they work, and important dates approaching you need to know.

As a reminder, Platinum badges come with two (2) Autograph Codes, while Weekend badges come with one (1) Autograph Code. An Autograph Code guarantees you the opportunity to reserve a spot in an autograph signing session, but it does NOT guarantee you will get into every signing you want. There are a certain number of slots per autograph signing session and they fill quickly. So we recommend be ready when autograph signing sessions go live to reserve your spot.

Exciting news! Community Corner is coming to RTX London, and we will have a dedicated space in the Exhibit Hall to promote the work and talents of our community. Are you an artist, designer, illustrator, and/or create cool shit? We'd love to give you the space to show it off!

We've assembled a committee of Rooster Teeth employees who have come from the community to review and select the submissions.

Traveling our company to Australia every year is a massive endeavor for Rooster Teeth, and one that we always look forward to. However, we can only manage one big event in Australia each year, and based on feedback from our community we’ve decided to change things up in 2019.

Rather than the standard RTX event, we'll be sending Achievement Hunter and friends down under to put on three amazing stage shows in a few different cities. We can't wait to show you what these guys have planned, and we'll be announcing dates and venues very soon!

Stay tuned for how and where to buy tickets in the coming weeks. We can't wait to see you again in Australia in 2019!

This week we begin releasing more episodes of Murder Room! We produced four new episodes from mysteries written earlier this year in testing. These four new episodes will give us a chance to get even more feedback and tweak this killer show (haha) before going into our official first season. (fingers crossed) Murder Room will also be moving to a different windowing session. Episodes will launch for FIRST members and be exclusive for 7 days, then it will open to be available to anyone on RoosterTeeth.com and all mobile apps for 7 more days, and finally after that it will be available on YouTube for the public. Since this is the first show of its kind, we are basically learning how to best turn each mystery into a game. I think you'll see how each episode gets stronger and stronger as we solve this crazy-ass puzzle we call Murder Room. Now, set your timer and prepare to convict a killer.

It's been a week since RTX Austin ended and as usual, I feel a mix of emotions. So much time and work (and champagne!) goes into planning the massive experience that is RTX, that when it ends after a jam-packed, whirlwind of one weekend, it's hard not to feel a sense of sadness inside. Yes, it's a phenomenal feeling to come full-circle and see the results of the previous year of work come to life, however it also comes with a heavy amount of anxiety and longing for what's next to come.

I truly hope you had a wonderful time this year at RTX, however we know there are always ways we can improve year over year. My team and I would love to hear from you on your experience this year at RTX Austin 2018: Registration, Security, Panels/Programming, Hotels, Evening Events, Communications, and anything else you want to ask/discuss.

A brief survey was emailed to all attendees last week, so please make sure you complete it. Not only will you be entered to potentially win 2 Weekend badges to RTX Austin 2019, but the feedback is invaluable to us. We read every word and consider every suggestion in our planning for the following year.

Lastly, I cannot thank you, the community, enough for continuing to show your support for Rooster Teeth by attending RTX and our other live events. It's you that makes Rooster Teeth special. It's you that allows us to have RTX each year. It's you that makes this the fucking best community in the entire world. It's you that deserves all the love and appreciation I can give. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

RTX Austin is right around the corner, and many of you are getting ready to travel to our balmy home to experience this event firsthand. The rest of you might be feeling sad about missing out, but I have some great news for you: thanks to our partnership with Mixer, you can stream RTX Austin 2018 LIVE from the comfort of your climate-controlled room! You can see it all, from gaming on Center Stage to the Animation Festival and our biggest announcements this year.

To experience the action, tune in to https://mixer.com/team/rtx2018 starting at 12:00 p.m. CT on Friday, August 3. You can also watch via the Mixer app on Xbox One and mobile. If you miss anything, Mixer will have a video on demand as soon the stream is over. You might want to reference our panel schedule to make sure you catch everything you want to see. We’ll miss you, but the Mixer livestream is the next best thing to being there in person.

Lots of you have been asking what’s up with Day 5, and today I FINALLY get to spill some big news -- Day 5 is coming to TV! Plus I’ve got updates on the upcoming Blu-ray release and season 3, so dig into the details below.

DAY 5 & CRUNCH TIME ARE OFFICIALLY TELEVISION SHOWS!Season 1 of Day 5 will debut in the UK (courtesy of Sky UK) on Pick TV starting August 28th, and both seasons will air in the US on the El Rey Network beginning October 31st! We’re beyond excited for our broadcast and cable debuts, and are thrilled to work with such great partners. And as a bonus, Rooster Teeth's Crunch Time will also air on El Rey in the same window.

In addition to helping us reach a wider audience, these deals are necessary for us to move forward with season 3. However, it does mean Day 5 episodes will be coming off Rooster Teeth for a six-month window starting at the end of October, and we wanted to make sure you had plenty of advance notice to check out the unwaking nightmare. If you’re not a Rooster Teeth FIRST member already, you can sign up for a free trial here.

DAY 5 BLU-RAY DROPS AT RTX!The Season 1 & 2 Combo Blu-ray will debut at RTX 2018 (Aug. 3-5) and be available in the Rooster Teeth store later next month. All 14 episodes of the show, with all behind-the-scenes materials and Day 5 Stories spinoffs, plus new exclusive commentaries from the cast and crew. Speaking of cast and crew, we’ll be running amok at RTX with an official Day 5 Panel and Cast Signing Session, if you’re looking for someone to sign those beautiful, newborn baby Blu-rays.

SO WHERE THE HELL IS SEASON 3?!

You’ve probably already figured it out, but Season 3 has been delayed into next year. We have a very specific vision for the series -- and the level of scope we want to achieve moving forward -- but we want to make sure it’s done right, and that the show can reach as broad an audience as possible. We’re currently in negotiations to co-produce season 3 with a partner, and I promise to update you on concrete details as soon as humanly possible.

We have some really, really cool stuff in store and I can’t wait to share more. Thanks so much for your passion for the series, and your patience as we work to give you the best damn show we can.

In case you happened to miss the news yesterday, we just launched my new collection in the RT Store: French with Benefits! (huehue)

I've been very inspired by a lot of "french" style lately, and wanted to make a collection that uses that inspiration, as well as unique, custom-made pieces. For this, we have 2 shirts, a suede cap, a tote bag, and... our first ever DRESS! (photos below). I am so happy with the way everything turned out, and am a big fan of pieces you can dress up or down.

Huge shoutout to the design/photography/store teams for making this possible. I am so excited to see these adorable pieces on your bodies. Go grab 'em!

Today we're SUPER pumped to announce that ALL subscriber revenue Game Attack earns from Twitch in the month of August will be donated to Extra Life this year! We see this as an opportunity to raise some money for a great cause. In addition, we're going to match all Tier 1, 2 & 3 sub revenue up to $2,500. That means if we have $1,000 in sub revenue and $250 comes from Tier 1, 2 & 3 subs on Twitch, we'll make a total donation of $1,250.

Extra Life is a BIG deal for RT every year. Since no other brands at Rooster Teeth or Let's Play aside from Kinda Funny stream on Twitch, this is an awesome chance for the RT community to come together & use their free Twitch Prime subs to go to a great cause.

Why are we announcing this two weeks before August? Because Like all things Game Attack - this has to be a grassroots campaign to spread the word about this opportunity to give big to Extra Life! We're asking for your help to hit up the RT community pages and even other brands - on Reddit, Twitter, on Facebook, and on RoosterTeeth.com!

If you'd like to support you can sub to GA on Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/gameattackteam) and hopefully we can raise some serious money for the kiddos.

WE'RE BACK, BABY-CHAN! Fan Service is returning! Me, Kerry, Miles, Yssa, Cole, Austin, Erin, really anyone who's worked on the show -- you know how much we loved catching up with you on all things anime. And whether online or in person at shows such as Anime Expo, CRX, or RTX, we also appreciated getting to hear from so many of you, about how much you've missed Fan Service since it went off the air. And Rooster Teeth listened… but they weren’t the only ones!

What we discovered last time around was even though people that watched the show really loved it, there just weren’t quite enough otaku on our site alone to keep it going. We aren’t able to produce it regularly without additional support. So how is it coming back? Turns out our good friends at a certain sister company, Crunchyroll (!!), really loved Fan Service, too - and they would like to sponsor its return! And so, the next season of Fan Service will kick off this July 21 (SO SOON) with your favorite cast of anime nerds, debuting on Crunchyroll. Yes, it will also eventually make its way to Rooster Teeth, and we’ll have more details on that shortly. We’re so excited to geek out with you again, starting July 21!

But chotto matte - that’s not all! There will be a Fan Service panel at RTX! Saturday 5pm in the Congressional Ballroom at the Fairmont! Get your weeb on, live and in person!

So we just got done with our panel at Anime Expo and it was insane. SO MUCH BIG NEWS. Let’s start with a project I’m thrilled to share more news on - gen:LOCK! Now we’ve already told you about this guy, but, oh, there’s so much more.

Today we announced some amazing new cast members including esteemed voice talent Kōichi Yamadera as Kazu Iida, a gL recruit from Japan. Yamadera-san has been in a couple tiny shows like Batman Ninja, Cowboy Bebop, and Ghost in the Shell, y’know, so maybe you've heard of him.

We’re also thrilled to announced that Dakota Fanning is joining our cast as Miranda Worth, an expert pilot and someone who is very close to Chase. Yes, THAT Dakota Fanning from The Alienist, The Twilight Saga, and so much more.

We also revealed our first supporting cast member, with Monica Rial (Dragon Ball Z, RWBY) playing the part of Colonel Raquel Marin — yes, it’s her voice you’ve already heard in the virtual call in the gen:LOCK teaser! As excited as I am about how this cast is shaping up, we have so much more yet to reveal. So maybe you should stop by RTX Austin, check out our big RT Animation panel and see what other names we might drop, along with the latest gen:LOCK teaser that we’re working on. It’s going to be a giant party.

We’re also excited to announce the launch of a website for the new mobile game, RWBY: Amity Arena! CRWBY has been playing an early prototype of the game around the offices and we’re all absolutely addicted to the gameplay. If you haven’t yet heard of RWBY: Amity Arena, it’s a new strategic duel game from the renowned developer of Crusaders Quest, NHN Entertainment. If commanding RWBY characters in a real-time, high-energy strategic duel against friends or competitors across the world sounds fun to you, check out videos, photos, and more info about RWBY: Amity Arena here: https://rwbyaa.hangame.com

And if you’ve been enjoying the English translations of the RWBY anthology manga from Viz, the next one is Weiss, arriving in August!

Thanks everyone and can’t wait to see you in only 27 days at RTX Austin! ...wait only 27 days?! Guess we gotta get back to work on all the cool stuff we want to share!! See ya in Austin soon!

Hey everyone! We have a few new site and app updates for you to check out!

First up, I'm happy to announce that you are now able to stay in fullscreen mode while binging videos, rather than having to re-select the fullscreen option each time a new video loads! We split your watchlist into tabs to make it easier to find the episodes AND series that you follow. You’ll also see that sort and filter options on the series page have been broken out into separate dropdown menus. That should make things a little less confusing and improve the experience.

Secondly, in the RT mobile app iOS and Android, you can now check out the all new app settings page. We’ve added in a color picker and video quality options so you can tailor to your streaming and customization needs! We've also made some performance improvements, so be sure to download the latest update and let us know what you think.

Lastly, we’ve implemented some new mod features for chat including user time outs. This is an admin-only feature but one we hope will keep the RT chats some of the best on the web!

If you haven’t stopped by in a while, be sure to head to RoosterTeeth.com to see what’s new on the site and download the mobile app so you never miss an RT beat!
